Shakib Al Hasan’s bank accounts seized

The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) has seized all bank accounts of former Bangladesh national cricket team captain and ex-member of parliament Shakib Al Hasan.

Bangladesh Bank spokesperson Husne Ara Shikha confirmed this information to the media on Wednesday. 

Earlier, on October 2, the BFIU had requested all bank account details of Shakib Al Hasan, his wife Umme Ahmed Shishir and his business entities as part of an investigation into alleged stock market manipulation and financial irregularities. 

The latest decision came on government instruction following the investigation.

Shakib is currently in the United States with his family. 

Although he was expected to miss the West Indies series, there are now questions about whether he will return to the field in the Bangladesh jersey at all. 

Notably, the all-rounder announced his retirement from Tests and T20Is in late September.

Shakib contested the 12th general election from his hometown Magura as a candidate for the Awami League and won a seat in parliament. 

On August 5, the president dissolved parliament following the ouster of Sheikh Hasina, resulting in Shakib losing his parliamentary seat. 

Shakib was named in a murder case in August.
